In 2016, political journalist Kady O'Malley reported that Arya faced an ethics inquiry after awarding 26 graduating elementary, middle school students high school student either an Amazon Kindle e-reader or $500 in cash for showing "perseverance in the face of adversity".
Arya defended himself against accusations that he violated the House of Commons conflict of interest code by stating that the Nepean Liberal Riding Association paid for the award.
In 2021, Arya apologized after a staffer emailed private information of nine hundred constituents to CPC staffers.
The CPC told their staffers to delete the email and Arya didn't face any sanctions due to Canadian privacy laws.

In 2022, Arya became the first member of parliament to speak in Kannada, his mother tongue, in the House of Commons of Canada.
Arya blamed “Khalistani extremists” for vandalizing Hindu temples in Toronto.
When filmmaker Leena Manimekalai faced backlash online for a poster of her movie Kaali, which depicted the Hindu goddess, Kali smoking and holding an LGBT flag, he condemned the poster on Twitter.

In November Arya's private member bill, which proclaimed that November is Hindu Heritage Month passed unanimously.
When Arya raised a flag on Parliament Hill to celebrate the event; academics from the Université du Québec à Montréal, Hindus for Human Rights and the Canadian Council of Muslim Women sent letters to Trudeau due to their belief that it appeared that flag represented the Hindu nationalist organization, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
Arya told CBC News that the flag "represented the Hindu faith" and "not support for any political organization".
In February 2023, Global News reported that from July 2020 to September 30, 2022, Arya outpaced his house colleagues in "protocol" gifts by purchasing 1,025 plaques for a total worth of $21,931 by using taxpayer funds.
Global noted that contracted to a single company SINIX Media Group, who received fifty-three contracts for an amount of $53,681.50 from Arya’s constituency office over the same period.
He told the outlet that the plaques were for his constituents but ignored any questions about a working relationship with the firm's chief executive officer.

Arya told Global News that he agrees with the concerns expressed by the petitioners. Trudeau, who was asked about the petition, responded by saying he supported the registry but argued to be cautious with the implementation.
